Buying a secondhand 156
Discussion
I had a V6 and absolutely loved it, so much so that I regret selling it and want another, especially now they are getting so cheap, you don't need to spend more than 7k to get a good one anymore. If you get a Veloce the handling is pretty good and that 190bhp engine is sweet. Sorting out a decent cold air feed and a better filter (I'd not bother with an IK) and a freer exhaust gives more torque lower down and are really the only mods you need. And above all, it's NOT a 318.
You won't get an A4 of comparable condition for this sort of money:

What's one of those?
There is an Alfa 90 and a 145 or a 164. I think the 164 was the last one Alfa to make it over the Pond.
Have you checked out:
www.alfabb.com/bb/forums/index.php?
It's a US based Alfa forum site and they may be better placed to help you as there were spec changes and differences for US models.
It's the road salt that screws up UK Alfa bushes as well.
